I am on day 4 RAW and I am experiencing muscle cramps all over my body especially around my upper back and shoulders. I also feel an all over achiness which I expected.

Are the cramps normal or is there something else I should be doing? According to my RDA numbers I am good on everything except Vit D and B12 which is pretty normal. I do not feel like I have been on this long enough for any deficiencies to be the problem.

detox is possible, you could also be catching some sort of flu, or a combination there of, just ride it out, BUT if you start feeling REALLY awful, like if you feel you need medical attention, do not ignore that feeling, get yourself to a doctor! especially if you start getting a high fever...

I get leg cramps sometimes when I go from eating poorly to eating very clean with lots of raw greens. My mom just adopted a healthier diet and reported cramps as a short term effect, too. I don't have an explanation, but it happens to me sometimes. I'm only 20. My mom is 46. I'm vegan, she isn't.

hmmm, I just thought of something, up your natural electrolytes and see what happens, grapes are an amazing source of electrolytes...
